Finally finished my electric longboard, extremely pleased with the end result.

Did some tests with it, 30km range and +-40km/h top speed

    Neat! Where's the battery ?

    On a dropped board?
    How did you manage the turning and height of the battery?
    Thought about doing my own but I prefer dropped boards and couldn't come up with a plan about that points. Excluding top mounted battery, that's meh.
    Does it break?

    @Kimmax flat LiPo cells, arranged in a way that allows quite a bit of bending, with enough soft padding around them. The deck itself actually became stronger than when it was new thanks to the fiberglass reinforcing

    Yes man! either make a long step by step guide on how you did this (open-source the design) or start your business and profit! And of course when you do the latter... Make em hackable!! 😁
